    • Gravity

    • Weight

    Correct Answer
    A. Drag
    Explanation
    Drag is the force that acts parallel to the relative wind. When an object moves through a fluid (such as air or water), drag is the resistance force that opposes the motion. It is caused by the friction between the object's surface and the fluid, and it acts in the direction opposite to the object's motion. In the context of aerodynamics, drag is an important force to consider as it affects the performance and efficiency of vehicles, aircraft, and other objects moving through a fluid medium.

    • Up, left aileron down

    • Down, left aileron up

    Correct Answer
    A. Up, left aileron down
    Explanation
    When making a right turn, the relative position of the ailerons is up, left aileron down. This means that the right aileron is raised or moved upwards, while the left aileron is lowered or moved downwards. This configuration helps to increase the lift on the right wing and decrease the lift on the left wing, causing the aircraft to roll to the right and initiate the turn.

    Correct Answer
    A. Elevators
    Explanation
    The correct answer is elevators. Elevators are the flight control surfaces that are used to make an aircraft climb or dive. They are located on the horizontal stabilizer at the tail of the aircraft and work by changing the angle of the aircraft's tailplane. When the elevators are deflected upwards, the aircraft's nose pitches up, causing it to climb. Conversely, when the elevators are deflected downwards, the nose pitches down, causing the aircraft to dive.

    The law that states, "the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force" is known as

    • Hook's Law

    • Boyle's Law

    • Pascal's Law

    • Charles' Law

    Correct Answer
    A. Hook's Law
    Explanation
    Hook's Law states that the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force. This means that when a force is applied to an elastic body, such as stretching or compressing a spring, the amount of deformation or change in length is directly proportional to the force applied. In other words, the more force applied, the more the elastic body will deform. This law is commonly used in physics and engineering to understand and predict the behavior of elastic materials.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    When any force causes a solid to change permanently, the solid is said to have

    • Passed the elastic limit

    • Lost the ability to expand

    • Failed to meet the elastic limit

    • Passed the compression limit

    Correct Answer
    A. Passed the elastic limit
    Explanation
    When a force is applied to a solid and it causes a permanent change in the shape or size of the solid, it means that the solid has passed its elastic limit. The elastic limit is the maximum stress or force that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. Once the elastic limit is surpassed, the solid loses its ability to return to its original shape and size after the force is removed. Therefore, the correct answer is "passed the elastic limit".

    The most outstanding characteristic of a liquid is its

    • Rigidity

    • Usability

    • Ability to compress with in its container

    • Ability to conform to the shape of its container

    Correct Answer
    A. Ability to conform to the shape of its container
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ability to conform to the shape of its container". Unlike solids, liquids do not have a fixed shape and can take the shape of their container. This is due to the weak intermolecular forces between liquid particles, allowing them to flow and move freely. Liquids also have the ability to fill the entire volume of their container, making them adaptable to different shapes and sizes.

    Pascal's Law applies to

    • A fluid in motion

    • Confined fluids at rest

    • Fluids flowing through a restrictor

    • Fluids subjected to high temperatures

    Correct Answer
    A. Confined fluids at rest
    Explanation
    Pascal's Law states that when a fluid is confined and at rest, the pressure is transmitted equally in all directions. This means that if pressure is applied to a confined fluid, it will be transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid and the walls of the container. Therefore, the correct answer is "confined fluids at rest" because Pascal's Law specifically applies to this scenario.

    The volume of liquid displaced can be calculated by multiplying the area of the piston by the distance it moves. In this case, the area of the piston is 8 square inches and it moves 5 inches. Therefore, the volume of liquid displaced is 8 square inches multiplied by 5 inches, which equals 40 cubic inches.

    The principle, which states that as the velocity of a gas or iquid increases, pressure decreases, is

    • Hook's

    • Boyles'

    • Pascal's

    • Bernoulli's

    Correct Answer
    A. Bernoulli's
    Explanation
    Bernoulli's principle states that as the velocity of a gas or liquid increases, the pressure decreases. This principle is based on the conservation of energy, stating that as the speed of a fluid increases, its potential energy decreases, resulting in a decrease in pressure. This principle is commonly observed in various phenomena, such as the lift force on an airplane wing and the flow of fluids through pipes. Therefore, Bernoulli's principle is the correct explanation for the given statement.

    As fluid enters the narrow portion of a venturi

    • It deecelerates

    • Is accelerates

    • Nothing happens

    • Pressure increases

    Correct Answer
    A. Is accelerates
    Explanation
    According to the principle of fluid dynamics, as fluid enters the narrow portion of a venturi, it accelerates. This is because the narrow portion creates a constriction in the flow, causing the fluid to speed up in order to maintain the same flow rate. This acceleration leads to a decrease in pressure according to Bernoulli's principle. Therefore, the correct answer is "it accelerates."

    When referring to hydraulic hand pumps, double action means

    • Fluid flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle

    • Fluid flow is created with every other stroke of the pump handle

    • Double volume is displaced with each stroke of the pump handle

    • Double volume is displaced with every other stroke of the pump handle

    Correct Answer
    A. Fluid flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle
    Explanation
    In hydraulic hand pumps, the term "double action" means that fluid flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle. This means that with every movement of the handle, fluid is being pumped and flowing through the system. This is in contrast to "single action" pumps, where fluid flow is created with every other stroke of the pump handle. With a double action pump, the flow of fluid is continuous and consistent with each stroke, allowing for more efficient and effective operation.

    Variable volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because

    • They deliver low pressure

    • They have an integral compensator

    • The case drain will relieve high system pressure

    • There is no angle between the drive shaft and cylinder block

    Correct Answer
    A. They have an integral compensator
    Explanation
    Variable volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because they have an integral compensator. This means that the pump itself is able to automatically adjust its output pressure based on the system's demand. The integral compensator allows the pump to maintain a consistent pressure level without the need for an additional regulating device.

    Cooler operation in a variable-volume hydraulic pump is provided by

    • Foot valves

    • Oil radiator

    • Creep plates

    • Fluid radiator

    Correct Answer
    A. Creep plates
    Explanation
    Creep plates provide cooler operation in a variable-volume hydraulic pump. Creep plates are designed to create a small gap between the pump's pistons and the cylinder block. This allows a small amount of fluid to continuously flow through the gap, which helps to dissipate heat generated during pump operation. As a result, the pump operates at a lower temperature, reducing the risk of overheating and improving overall efficiency.
